Topic: Greetings from a boardgame lover! - page 2. (Read 2395 times)

Why not have a tournament with your friends. Make it interesting, and tell them to put up bitcoins per game. "Winner takes all"

Instead of using $ as on your notes, make it Satoshis. 

You could fund this with faucet payments, if they do not have BTC yet, just create wallets for them.

Good work.

Thanks for the 3-d printing idea! I'll keep that in mind for next time.  Didn't realize they were getting cheap enough for home use, that's pretty cool. It would have saved me a lot of time too, as I made another set by hand for my sister.  I ended up using really cheap terracotta modeling clay designed for kids, so it was kinda difficult and frustrating to work with. lol

As for the rules, the goal of the game is still the same.  There are certainly a lot of twists though.  Travelling the board is a bit crazy.  Instead of the railroads you purchase in traditional Monopoly, you use a pipeline network that jumps you around the board depending on what your dice roll is.  That's one of the ways you get into the Beetle Expressway (the diagonal row on the board). There are also numerous cards you get to hold on to, so that you can be a bit more strategic. Stuff like shells, stars, and fireflowers you can use to target the person in the lead and make them lose coins(mario kart style).  Also the board dimensions are a bit different (11 x 10 squares) which might be frustrating for some players. This doesn't bother me at all, but frustrates my husband who gets a bit thrown off by this when moving his token. For example, if you roll a 10 while being on a corner, it doesn't necessarily mean you get to jump to the next corner (you'd go past it on the short side).  Anyhoo, for the full rules, read the text file that I included in the zip file.  If anything doesn't make sense in there or I left something out, I'll be happy to answer any questions you have.

Thanks for your kind comments guys.

Welcome to the forums.  It looks like a very nice game modification.

yes very nice. My wife has a friend that loves monopoly maybe i can get her to try a new version Any twists in rules?  3d printing is a great idea. Haboro should hire you to do the nintendo edition of monopoly.

That seems very cool; well done. As for the player tokens, or any other project that may require it, I would suggest you team up with someone with a 3D printer. I'm sure there are quite a few people in this forum that would be willing to help.

Hello! I'm new to posting in this forum, but have been lurking for a month or two.  I think I initially read about bitcoin in a forbes article, and thought wow, this sounds like pirate money! Cool! XD

In all seriousness though,  I see the value in accepting bitcoin for doing some freelance illustration, which is where my interests lie.  After I get my portfolio up online, I'll be sure to advertise my skills in the services section.

In the meantime, I thought I'd share one of my projects with the community.  I originally designed Mariopoly for my group of friends, before knowing about Parker Brothers' version of the game.  My version isn't just re-skinned though, it has some slight differences in play (I've included some rules in a zip file).

Here are some sample pictures:

If you're interested in making a printout of the game for yourself, I've included a link to a zip file:


http://www19.zippyshare.com/v/15455346/file.html

The zip contains board game, title deeds, mushroom(community chest) and coinbox(chance) cards, 1ups(houses) and castles(motels), and currency.  There's no printout for the player tokens though, so you'll have to be creative with that.

All files are in pdf format and ready for print.
